Abstract
Surgical device having a shaft with a distal end including a surgical instrument, and a proximal end including an actuation device; wherein the surgical instrument is mounted on sliders longitudinally movable in opposite directions relative to each other in the shaft by operation of the actuation device, the sliders provided adjacent to each other within the shaft; wherein in a first mounted position the sliders are coupled with the actuation device and are secured against rotation within the shaft to prevent releasing of the coupling between the sliders and the actuation device, and in a second dismountable position the sliders are concurrently slidable at least partly out of the shaft to a point at which rotation of the remainder of the sliders within the shaft is enabled, and the coupling between the sliders and the actuation device is releasable.
